Ziamatic’s MANUAL VEHICLE STEP slides out when needed, then easily tucks away again. It creates an optimal stepping distance below pump panels, hosebeds, and more. It may be retrofitted onto existing apparatus. The heavy-duty step is made from high-strength aluminum alloy and steel for maximum durability and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. The open diamond pattern stepping surface allows mud and debris to fall through for maximum traction and safety. Four sizes: 18-, 24-, 36-, and 48-inch. www.ziamatic.com. (800) 711-FIRE.
